Hope you're doing great today despite this JDOGDUHMNICE

Sorry to hear that, Are you able to test the drive with another console to see if it can be read there?

If not, what happens when you connect the drive to the PC? (Open the disk management app and check if the drive appears there)

If the PC recognize it but the consoles not
Probably something happened to the file system and now is corrupted
In those cases the best option is format the drive :c

**just to let you know, the games are attached to your Microsoft account if you purchased them digitally, not to the drive itself

You could try using a Seagate external hardrive that should solve your problem!

2tb of space for around $60 everything would then be saved there instead of on the xbox itself.

yep auto updates are off for the system updates.

I would try having the drive plugged into one of the rear ports, plug it in, then go to settings, power and full shutdown, then wait till fully off, leave drive connected and start the console backup and wait a few minutes see if the games show again.
